In all honesty if the man can't emotionally handle being told he's saying a word wrong then he's got some serious issues. I wouldn't even rank telling him as criticism

In his eyes probably not so just say "look dipshit, it's specific, not pacific." The Pacific is an ocean west of California; now use words that are easier for you like is, an & shut the frick up!"

I would print a pamphlet about the Pacific Ocean and give it to him and say you thought he might like oceanography.

Andy Griffith Show alert
Upon reading your post I immediately thought about the episode about Earnest T Bass and the time he fell in love with Helen Crump. Andy tried to educate him on geography and the Pacific Ocean (Kelsey's Ocean)........

I would just go 'you now it's specific right?'
and if that drives you crazy you might want to consider loosening your underwear a couple of notches

I'm really not sure someone HAS killed themselves over something less than the word specific.

You may be driving him nuts with your emails?
You may have some issues of your own based on this post.

My brother in law says, "esilepsy". The first time he said it I said epilepsy must be a terrible condition to have.
He replied he worked with a guy who had esilepsy.
I did not and do not make any further attempts to correct him.

If this is only in company meetings or water cooler talk, just let it go and laugh at the guy after you walk away. Life is too short to get worked up about this kinda stuff. If it is in meetings with customers, though, screw his feelings.

I had a lady barber once, when I had hair, who insisted that her grandmother suffered from "oldtimers disease" . She had great tits, so I never corrected her.

That would be "Old Man Kelsey's Ocean).
The Education of Earnest T. Bass...one of my favorite episodes

i had a friend who used the word "amnesty", when he meant to use the word "animosity", on more than one occasion...then one day i corrected him during an argument and made him feel like a stupid a-hole, which he was 60% of the time

My assistant says the same shite. She also universally uses "was" for all situations which would call for "were" or "was".
She's sweet, but bless her heart she's trashy. I cringe when she picks the phone up for me.

Every time he says "pacific", say "you sure you don't mean Atlantic, you fricking dumbass?" and he'll probably thank you and / or name a child after you.

Go to HR and let them know you are about to "go postal" on him. Use those exact words and then turn and walk away. They will take care of it for you.
